council house tenancy

[dragonsfairy]

My mother succeded to the tenancy of her council house after my father died. A few years later she moved to another house in a different village. Would this have been a new tnancy and would I (daughter) be able to succed to the tenancy. I moved in with her to take care of her a couple of years ago.

Just ask the council

It is likely to have been considered the same tenancy and most Council's only allow one succession or assignment of a tenancy. But as bednobs has already pointed out, unless you ask the Council you won't know for sure.

When you ask the council also ask if it can become a joint tenancy now. If it can then problem solved. Good luck.

lazy, that would still count as an assignment....
